The littlest learners in Manly are set to benefit from new and improved facilities and support programs at early childhood education and care services thanks to a funding boost from the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government. 

Member for Manly James Griffin confirmed four services in the area have been successful in securing grants of up to $17,500 each to improve facilities, and access for children from low-income families, Aboriginal children and culturally and linguistically diverse children.

“It’s fantastic that, thanks to the NSW Liberal and Nationals, these vital early childhood services in Manly have benefitted from government funding. I know all too well how important these services are to our community and so the funding will make a positive difference for our young learners.” Mr Griffin said. 

The electorate of Manly has secured $430,000 in funding for a total of fifteen projects through the NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.

Member for Manly James Griffin said the State Government funds will deliver much-needed improvements to local facilities including disability access pathways, defibrillators, an outdoor classroom, and drinking fountains with bottle fillers.

“This is fantastic news for Manly,” Mr Griffin said.

“This grassroots funding will directly help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community with positive social and recreational outcomes.

As children around the Manly electorate head back to school, Member for Manly James Griffin is reminding motorists to take care in school zones.

Mr Griffin said since 2011 the NSW Government has installed 47 sets of flashing lights in the Manly electorate.

“School children are some of our most vulnerable road users, which is why since 2011, the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government has ensured every school in NSW has at least one set of flashing lights in place, with many having multiple sets,” Mr Griffin said.
